I know it's just a Hallmark holiday, but I've always been a sucker for Valentine's Day. Ever since the days of putting Valentine's in decorated shoe boxes I've enjoyed the day where you celebrate loving people. So yesterday was no different, and all week I was pumped about dressing up and going out with friends to celebrate (I also was really excited to finally wear my pink dress).
Around lunch, some friends and I headed to a cafe called Lemon ate some delicious crepes. We sat outside and it was really cool to experience the city bustling in preparation for Valentine's festivities. Being more observant of the people than usual, I enjoyed watching them shop for different preparations for the evening, having lunch dates, and seeing so many flowers being purchased and received.
Later on, we prepared for our own festivities and after hanging out in our apartments we headed to a bar/club called Copper Face Jacks. We had such a fun night. We danced and laughed so much and it once again confirmed my love for the day of love. I hope yours was great too!

Last time I tried this I hadn't logged on yet and got frustrated. Love is one of those things which both invites and transcends frustration. Love of a child is an abject lesson in patience. It can never be returned in full measure. Realization of this has caused many a parent to look back at the love they express to their own parents. True love is also something which can never be expressed enough. And a single day of the year is a horrible excuse to reveal such an all consuming emotion.
